wep and broadcast

how does wep work in combination with broadcasting? is a broadcasted frame
still encoded by some key?

related to that: how is a failed attempt at decoding of a frame recognized?

With WEP, all payloads are encrypted, broadcast and unicast. 802.11 frame
headers and 802.11 management messages are not encrypted. A failed
decryption can't be distinguished from a frame with bits in error, so it
should just look like an errored frame.
